Somaliland in Figures data 2019, Hargeisa – Somaliland. All correspondence should be directed to: Somaliland Central Statistics Department Minister of Planning and National Development Hargeisa, Somaliland Email: [email protected] Website: Somalilandcsd.org Map of Somaliland I Preface Complete, accurate and reliable statistics are an absolute requirement for efficient public action. Statistics inform decision makers and the broader community with critical information on the needs of the population and specific challenges they face. Quality data can reveal where resources are most needed, and provide the means to track progress and assess the impact of different plans and policies. Somaliland, as it is the case in many other developing countries, still lacks the capacity to regularly produce the full range and quality of statistics which are typically requires to effectively design, implement and monitor the relevant policies and plans needed for the country’s development. The need to fill that capacity gap becomes more pressing as Somaliland progresses. Indeed, raising complexity of the productive base and integration of the country in the global economy are two processes which can offer tremendous dividends to the population of Somaliland, but require sufficient, accurate and timely information to fully take effect. To face this challenge, the Government of Somaliland has undertaken various efforts to improve the overall capacity and functionality of its National Statistics System (NSS) coordinated by the Central Statistics Department (CSD) of the Ministry of Planning and National Development (MoPND), and in particular to reinforce the role of public institutions in the production of quality data. Somaliland in Figures is a reflection of these efforts, providing summary statistics on a broad range of conditions and activities in Somaliland by compiling records produced by many government institutions involved in various sectors of relevance, from education to health, to justice and many more. In bringing those statistics together in one booklet, the CSD aims to provide all concerned stakeholders with a comprehensive overview of the currently available statistical information in the country. This is the 17th edition of this publication and its evolution throughout the years reflects the work accomplished in building up the capacity of the CSD and the NSS as a whole. However, significant improvements remain to be achieved, and the MoPND is committed to continuously raise the standard of quality of the CSD’s publications. In this endeavor, we would like to express our gratitude to all who assisted us in producing this document, and to kindly request their continued support and assistance in the future. II Acknowledgement Somaliland in Figures is a Statistical Yearly Book, which carries administrative data from public and private sectors in Somaliland.

  • Somaliland – Interest-Free but Not Yet Shari’Ah-Compliant Economy/ R.Bekkin // New Horizon
    Bekkin R. Somaliland – Interest-free but not yet Shari’ah-compliant economy/ R.Bekkin // New Horizon. – 2007 (1428). – No. 166. – October-December (Shawwal-Dhu al-Hijjah). – P. 46-49. Somaliland - Interest free but not yet Shari’ah-compliant economy R. Bekkin Having survived a civil war and living in international isolation, Somaliland, a de facto independent state in the territory of Somalia, is gradually developing its financial sector. The banking services are interest-free in this entirely Muslim republic. But does it mean they are Shari’ah-compliant? Renat Bekkin, PhD in Law, senior researcher at the Institute for African Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, reports. In 1991, the unified country of Somalia de facto ceased to exist. The civil war, which had broken out three years earlier, had led to the break up of the state into three separate areas: Somaliland, Puntland and Somalia. At the time one could hardly call the former British colony and then province of Somalia – Somaliland – a country. It was virtually a bare territory with its infrastructure completely destroyed by the war. The world community did not rush to recognise the new state and hardly anyone would have predicted that the country would survive. But 16 years on, Somaliland continues to exist as a state despite international political isolation and weak central government. The main source of welfare for Somaliland's citizens is not international aid, but money sent by their relatives from abroad. Because of the underdevelopment of the financial sector, money transfer operators have practically taken on the role of banks.

    Ministry of Education & Higher Education Republic of Somaliland Global Partnership for Education Programme Document 2013-2016 Final FOREWORD We aim to strengthen our Education Sector and provide every child in Somaliland quality education, with well-prepared teachers using an effective curriculum. Our vision for the development of the education system is in Somaliland is grounded in the following premise: Every child in Somaliland living in every region has the right to a quality education. Providing quality education that caters to students’ needs should be a primary objective, from early childhood education through to further and higher education. The importance of quality teaching for quality education cannot be underestimated. To achieve this, teachers at all levels of education must be trained appropriately. Teachers should continue their professional development through a period of induction into the profession with the support of supervisors and mentors and should have access throughout their careers to high quality continuous professional development and learning. The teaching and learning environment should be designed in such a way that it supports teachers and all education officials in their missions to educate our children. Quality education nurtures human talent and creativity and will contribute to the personal and professional development of the individual person, as well as to the social, cultural, moral, economic, political and environmental development of society at large. We know that quality education promotes peace, solidarity, inclusion, a commitment to a sustainable environment, and international and intercultural understanding. The Ministry of Education & Higher Education appreciates the assistance of the Global Partnership for Education for improving the quality of education in Somaliland through support to teachers.

Concepcion • Emily R. Smith • Mubarak Mohamed • Shugri Dahir • 3 4 5 1 Edna Adan Ismail • Andrew J. M. Leather • Dan Poenaru • Henry E. Rice on behalf of the Global Initiative for Children’s Surgery Ó Socie´te´ Internationale de Chirurgie 2019 Abstract Background Existing data suggest a large burden of surgical conditions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, surgical care for children in LMICs remains poorly understood. Our goal was to define the hospital infrastructure, workforce, and delivery of surgical care for children across Somaliland and provide policy guidance to improve care. Methods We used two established hospital assessment tools to assess infrastructure, workforce, and capacity at all hospitals providing surgical care for children across Somaliland. We collected data on all surgical procedures performed in children in Somaliland between August 2016 and July 2017 using operative logbooks. Results Data were collected from 15 hospitals, including eight government, five for-profit, and two not-for-profit hospitals. Children represented 15.9% of all admitted patients, and pediatric surgical interventions comprised 8.8% of total operations. There were 0.6 surgical providers and 1.2 anesthesia providers per 100,000 population. A total of 1255 surgical procedures were performed in children in all hospitals in Somaliland over 1 year, at a rate of 62.4 surgical procedures annually per 100,000 children. Care was concentrated at private hospitals within urban areas, with a limited number of procedures for many high-burden pediatric surgical conditions.
